The Himalaya is sending a warning: Nepal’s disaster could be a preview of what lies ahead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Namaste Langtang Lirung. Namaste Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. Namaste Chorabari and Kedarnath. Namaste Gangotri, South Lhonak, Sikkim, Himachal, Ladakh and the glaciers of the great Himalayan arc. These are not merely words of reverence for the mountains. They are a reminder that the Himalaya is no longer a distant, silent landscape. It is changing rapidly, and the changes taking place in its glaciers, snowfields, permafrost, rivers and slopes are beginning to speak to us in the language of landsli
80 years of Independence: Are we losing the Republic we inherited? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As India celebrates its 80th Independence Day, the tricolour will once again fly proudly across the country. We will remember the sacrifices of those who fought colonial rule, celebrate our economic and technological achievements, and speak of India’s emergence as a global power.

Harela amid shrinking forests: Celebration or ecological contradiction? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every July, Uttarakhand celebrates Harela, a festival that symbolizes the inseparable bond between people, forests, water, and the Himalayas. Saplings are planted, speeches are delivered, and pledges are taken to protect nature. Yet, an uncomfortable question deserves to be asked: Can Harela retain its true meaning when large tracts of forests continue to be diverted for roads, highways, transmission lines, mining, and urban infrastructure? According to available official records, 46,203 hectare
Kiratpur–Manali four-lane: When infrastructure becomes a perpetual liability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Kiratpur–Manali four-lane highway was promoted as an engineering marvel that would reduce travel time, boost tourism, and accelerate economic development in Himachal Pradesh. Instead, it is increasingly becoming an example of how poorly conceived infrastructure in the fragile Himalayan terrain can destroy both public finances and the environment. The 113-km Kiratpur–Nerchowk section alone cost nearly Rs 4,500 crore, translating to almost Rs 40 crore per kilometre—several times the cost of co
